Chris Hume from 'Hume DIY' shows us every step of how to build an outdoor office from scratch!
This could also work great for a shed, cubby house, greenhouse build or tiny home. If you're looking for a home office or gym but don't have the space indoors, a structure like this could be perfect for you!
This is part 01 where Chris focuses on the subframe build using TuffBlock deck blocks. We cover the full build, but to see more the office framing (walls, roof, interior etc) in detail, head on over to Chris' channel.

This is exactly the kind of shed/office foundation video I was looking for--just the right amount of detail and lots of little explanations of how to do the small steps that other people leave out. Thanks!

Notching the 4x4s was the crucial step missing in a "big follower" video where they built the same foundation. What could you use to skirt the bottom of the frame to prevent animal intrusion underneath

@Buildtuff 10 дней назад

Yeah notching 4x4s means the load bearing weight is on the post, not the fasteners. To prevent animal intrusion you can look at gopher wire, and also lattice skirting.

Could I use the same method to build a pergola safely?

@Buildtuff 11 дней назад

We'd always recommend using an in-ground method for a pergola because it acts like a giant sail in high winds. You can build the deck floor using deck blocks though, and you can see a good example of that in this project: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-37-kRV1Iq5E.htmlsi=VA0nrwq-ynSe94Dn The outdoor kitchen roof uses a separate method to the deck.

THANK YOU!!!! Question: what was that 'bag of rocks' you used? I went to the hardware store and had a 20 min conversation about '3/4 clean' vs 'Paver base'? (I ended up leaving without it because I wanted to research 😅) The price difference wasn't much, so really I just wanna get one that wont sonk over time? Any thoughts? Also, for that insulation, was that wood just some 2x2 or something?? Thanks again for this!! Its EXACTLY what I was looking for!!🎉🎉🎉

@Buildtuff 24 дня назад

Thanks for reaching out! There's no right or wrong type of aggregate to use underneath the blocks. Thicker aggregate like crushed rock will drain better, but doesn't compact as good as paver base (which doesn't drain quite as well). Ultimately they're both good options and some builders even use them in combination. Other times people build straight onto the compacted earth without aggregate. As for the wood holding up the insulation, yes those we just small bits of 2x2. Glad you found it useful. Make sure to go thank Chris on his page, as he did all the hard work with building this project and making the video :) www.youtube.com/@humediy

Great job and video!! Can you share the Amazon link to those ties/anchors, please? I've been searching but can't find that style.

@Buildtuff 3 месяца назад

Thanks! (on Chris's behalf). He did a great job with this build. Here is a link to earth anchors that are very similar to the ones used in the video: www.amazon.com/Anchors-Trampoline-Camping-Canopies-Resistant/dp/B0C9LTSLR8

@natalieduncan4965 3 месяца назад

@Buildtuff thanks! These just don't have the hardware that connects directly to the posts. I'm worried about relying on tying string and would love to just have hardware.
